Parker VS271NTA-6-6 Compression Male Run Tee 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The PARKER VS271NTA-6-6 is a brass compression male run tee designed for use in fluid and pneumatic line assemblies requiring a branch connection off a main run. The fitting uses compression ends on the run legs and a male NPTF threaded branch port, allowing a mechanic or plumber to tap into an existing compression tube line without cutting and re-routing. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure with a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting is built to D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards, making it suitable for brake and fuel line applications where certification compliance is required.

This tee is used in automotive, truck, and light-duty commercial vehicle hydraulic and pneumatic plumbing where a certified compression fitting is mandated. It is also applicable in stationary fluid-handling systems that call for NPTF-threaded branch ports paired with compression tube connections. The 3/8 inch thread size and 0.217 inch inside diameter suit standard small-bore tubing runs. Licensed mechanics, plumbers, and fleet service technicians are the primary installers of this fitting type.

Key Features

• Compression x MNPT x Compression end configuration for in-line branch tapping without special tooling
• Brass construction resists corrosion in fuel, air, and hydraulic service
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide service temperature range: -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Certified to D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 for regulated vehicle brake and fuel line use
• NPTF thread standard provides a pressure-tight dry seal without additional sealant

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for compression tube assemblies requiring a 3/8 inch NPTF male branch port in brake, fuel, or pneumatic line applications meeting D.O.T. and SAE certification requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed mechanic or qualified plumber familiar with compression fitting assembly and applicable DOT brake or fuel system regulations. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing any existing fittings. Compression sleeves and nuts must be fully seated and tightened to manufacturer hand-tight-plus specifications using proper tube wrenches — do not over-torque. Verify thread engagement on the NPTF branch port and pressure-test the assembly before returning the system to service.
